Ingredients
- 2 large raw green mangoes (about 500g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black salt
- 1/4 teaspoon regular salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder
- 1/2 teaspoon mint leaves (dried or fresh, optional)
- 4 cups water (for boiling mangoes)
- 1/2 cup water (for syrup)
Instructions
- Wash the raw mangoes. In a large pot, add the mangoes and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until mangoes are soft and skin starts to peel off, about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove mangoes from water and let cool. Peel off the skin and separate the pulp from the seed. Discard the seed and skin.
- In a blender, combine the mango pulp, sugar, 1/2 cup water, roasted cumin powder, black salt, regular salt, black pepper, and mint (if using). Blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until sugar is fully dissolved and syrup thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. Store in a sterilized glass bottle or jar. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- To serve, mix 2-3 tablespoons of syrup with 1 cup chilled water or sparkling water. Add ice cubes and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
Tips
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped green chilies while blending.
- Adjust sugar to taste depending on the sourness of mangoes.
- The syrup can also be used as a marinade or glaze for grilled meats or tofu.
